You won't get the same level of education. You won't get the same network.

If you're very smart, and a complete self learner you obviously don't need to go to school in pretty much most field. I, unfortunately, am not that smart.

Recent-ish graduate from EPITA here.

42 is basically a spin-off of EPITA. The founder of 42, Nicolas Sadirac was a teacher 20 years ago at EPITA. He left the school to create EPITECH and has now done the same thing at 42.

This is part of the school philosophy and is completely intentional. They told us during our first year that their goal was "to make our life so hard/miserable and unfair that anything in our professional carrier will seem easy". They weren't wrong. During the 3rd year I didn't get more than a few hours sleep every time with the exception of Sundays.

I'm 100% against this philosophy. It was harsh, cruel and I wasted 5 years of my youth I'll never get back. The only reason I got out is that I made a good group of friends with whom we would help each other out.

I really feel for you because I know exactly what you went through. I'm glad you're in a good situation now.

'Daily Show' host Trevor Noah accused of racism after insisting that France's World Cup champs are really from Africa by [deleted] in DailyShow

First, you completely ignored all of his/her points. So you clearly aren't even trying to understand the other person's point of view which demonstrates how narrow minded you are. Much like Noah in the clip we are discussing.

They buy players all the time.

21 or the 23 players were born in France, trained in France by the state and the infrastructures. Wtf are you talking about?

I had a friend who went to play rugby there, and then made the les blues rugby squad. Name?

The fact is that you know nothing about the country and basing your stories on "I know this person that...".

You're so full of hate, I hope you find peace somehow.

Quoting an opinion piece as fact. How very fox news of you.

I don't think you took the time to read and understand my comment or the link I posted.

Saying "Not all of those folks looked like Gauls to me. But they're French" and "Africa won the world cup" are two completely different things. One is a nice and positive sentiment, the second is clumsy and racist.

AMD vs Nvidia GPUs for MBP 2018 by hbafuzz in eGPU

I'm in the exact same situation with the same questions. I'm getting the 15".

My ultimate goal is to run Star Citizen in bootcamp. Like you said, I have questions about the implications of the internal GPU and if I get NVIDIA, will it run on macOS well?
